Trump just endorsed Netanyahu in he upcoming Israeli elections. Motherfucker.
A plague on both their houses.
They have different vowels, though, so they’re not homonyms. But maybe she has an accent.

Is an endorsement from Trump worth anything in Israel? The article didn’t really get into how Israelis feel about Trump (except a brief mention about how 45% of people surveyed don’t trust him at all). But there have been Republican candidates in the US who have scrubbed Trump’s name from their websites because they don’t want to be associated with him.

I don’t know. A year ago, he was very popular. Now, though, a lot of Israelis seem to have caught on that he’s full of shit - that he’s erratic and can’t be trusted. Still, as a rule, Israelis tend to support people who claim to support us; OTOH, we also really don’t like it when people tell us what to do. So it could help, or it could hurt. I hope it’s the latter, but I really don’t have a clue.
I’m longing for the time—perhaps in a mere two-and-a-half years—when a Democratic President is chalking up gains on the economy and on the US position in the world.
(And in addition: when Democrats are doing hearings in the Senate and House they dominate, as a first stage in justice coming for Trump Regime lawbreakers; and when the Supreme Court has been right-sized (with sane new Justices).)
At that time, perhaps, Donald’s words will be played over and over again.

Plus, people are scared. What if we elect someone Trump doesn’t like and he turns on us?
When someone is unpredictable and has no inhibitions or moral boundaries - when they could do anything to anyone for any reason - Israelis say that they “have no God.” Well, Trump has no God.

The endorsement is not for anyone in Israel. It’s for domestic consumption in the United States .
Court tells him he can’t do it, so he does it anyway.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday announced plans to close a historic public golf course in the nation’s capital for 15 months and redevelop it despite a court challenge to his long-sought renovation.
Trump posted on social media about his intent to shutter the East Potomac Golf Course, not far from the White House, starting Nov. 15 to make it “one of the Best and Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World.”
A judge last week, however, ordered a halt to his redevelopment plans until at least Oct. 26 after scolding the government for starting a large-scale tree removal at the course over a holiday weekend while providing little notice to the court or the plaintiffs trying to stop the makeover.
Trump did not acknowledge the legal fight in his post, which included an artist’s rendering for the course redesign.
The judge was not impressed.
Down, down, doobie down, down, down. The felon’s numbers are tanking.
A new poll from The Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a record low with two weeks until the midterms.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating hit a new low in a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll with weeks until the midterm elections that will test the strength of the GOP’s agenda.
The survey, released Oct. 18, found 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s job performance while 66% disapprove.
It’s Trump’s lowest mark in the outlets’ polling, down from 37% approval in April and July surveys. The results nearly mirror a Fox News poll released Oct. 14 that marked the lowest approval rating for Trump in the right-leaning network’s polling during either of his terms.
Fifty-two percent of respondents in the Post-ABC poll said they strongly disapprove of Trump.
President Obama nailed it. The felon is appalling.
Barack Obama has come out swinging against the Trump administration’s efforts to find a way to deport Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The administration amped up its campaign against the Minnesota congresswoman this week, with Homeland Security Investigations carrying out a dawn raid on her D.C. area home on Monday as part of an investigation into her immigration paperwork.
The 44-year-old progressive was born in Somalia and immigrated to the United States as a child after living in a Kenyan refugee camp. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000, and strongly denies any wrongdoing regarding her immigration status. But President Donald Trump and his allies have repeatedly floated claims vilifying Omar and baselessly accusing her of “crooked” activities.
On Sunday morning, Trump’s predecessor issued a fiery defense of Omar.
“It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say. But that’s exactly what the Trump Administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota,” Obama wrote in an X post viewed over two million times as of publication.
After defending Omar’s citizenship, Obama was uncharacteristically blunt in his criticism of Trump, saying the sole reason that the congresswoman was coming under scrutiny was her fierce criticism of the president.
“Think about that. The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president,” Obama continued. “And it’s not the first time this has happened.”
The post using the word appalling is embedded in that article.
As usual, it’s always OPM* with the felon.
WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is blaming senior aides and political operatives for a faltering midterm strategy, questioning campaign spending, faulting redistricting and second-guessing candidate choices as Republicans fight to retain control of Congress, said three people familiar with internal discussions.
Trump is not on the November 3 ballot but repeatedly tells supporters to pretend that he is, hoping to mobilize voters who might otherwise skip the election. He has embarked on a frenetic campaign schedule while largely avoiding acknowledging his own role in shaping the strategy and how his unpopularity is weighing on Republican candidates in competitive races.
Much of the friction has centered on James Blair, the longtime aide who runs Trump’s super PAC MAGA Inc., and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who until now had largely escaped criticism. Trump has faulted Blair’s handling of campaign funds, while some White House officials and allies have questioned Wiles’ oversight of the political operation.

FIFA is taking a second look at the Peace Prize it handed to President Donald Trump last December, with one of its committees now deciding whether the award should even exist going forward. The White House, however, is standing by Trump’s win.
In a new statement, a White House spokesperson insisted that Trump remains the most deserving recipient of the prize anywhere in the world, crediting his foreign policy with ending “eight wars” in less than a year.
Here’s the money quote.
“President Trump’s Peace through Strength foreign policy is a tried-and-true approach that keeps America safe and deters global threats that has already ended eight wars in less than a year,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Front Office Sports.
“There is no one else in the world more deserving of FIFA’s first ever Peace Prize than President Trump,” Ingle added.
Monty:
The judge in the case took notice of Trump’s online message and ordered the government** to notify her by 8 p.m. EDT Sunday** whether its position had changed from a court filing Friday that said “at most” Trump has given “preliminary thought” to the rebuilding plan and “there is no final agency action.”
My bold.
Why do these judges keep giving this fucker deadlines that he ignores?? Deadlines are a joke to him, as are courts and judges.
Say, “I want an answer in my courtroom RIGHT NOW! Be here in an hour or bailiffs/officers/(whoever the court’s enforcers are) will be at the White House in 65 minutes to pick you up and bring you here!”
Monty:
The survey, released Oct. 18, found 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s job performance while 66% disapprove.
It blows my mind that 33% still approve !
(I found out on Friday that one of my oldest, dearest friends is a trumpist. I suspected, and I finally asked her.)
The court’s enforcers are controlled by Trump. Can you see the problem?
Here’s the tweet. I’m surprised he didn’t mention national security. I guess they haven’t figured out how to have drone ports and sniper areas integrated yet. Maybe store munitions in the club house.

Has anyone figured out how the felon’s vanity arch/giant toy tranformer platform will memorialize the now past 250th anniversary of the nation’s independence?
I WANT THIS WAR END! Trump’s bullshit “excuses” for favoring Putin and fucking over Zelenskyy.

I thought Trump said he could end the war in 24 hours. I wonder why he doesn’t do that?

He didn’t say which 24 hours, nor that they would be all in a row , now, did he?
The felon-in-the-oval has an interesting excuse for waiving sanctions on Russia.
“My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations!”
Of course the felon-in-the-oval needs Putin at the table. The master of the house is always at the head of the table.
Even pubbies are getting tired of the convicted felon.
Republicans are sounding the alarm as President Donald Trump continues to act increasingly scatterbrained ahead of a monumental midterm election.
Rather than rallying their base around key issues, GOP candidates have been forced to address one Trump administration controversy after another as Nov. 3 inches ever closer.
With only weeks remaining until the midterms, the Trump administration announced and subsequently canceled a livestreamed military execution , hired and fired a new White House press secretary, and made a deal with Vladimir Putin to scorn Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, among other bonkers decisions.
The 80-year-old president has also made a habit of attacking fellow Republicans who stray from his MAGA agenda, which has further sowed division in a party desperate to maintain its congressional majorities.
Trump targeted Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton for rejecting a daylight saving time bill, while also blasting Texas Sen. John Cornyn and veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove for criticizing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The president’s unpredictability has made an already challenging election season even more arduous.
“We’re learning about a lot of these things at the same time that the voters and the Democrats and everybody else is, and that just makes it a lot more difficult to navigate,” a senior GOP operative told Politico . “You’re caught flat-footed a lot of the time, and you’re expected to react to things in real time.”
“He has constantly been distracted,” a GOP operative told the outlet, “and not focused on what the voters care about. It’s insane.”
It’s not an act. He is, in fact, scatterbrained. That is not news. And I have sympothy for the pubbies, even those in office, now whining about it. They are the ones who created the problem of him.
This is the real, permanent damage Trump and his enablers have done to the world in general and this country in particular. If he had been thoroughly repudiated in 2020 and on during Biden’s term, and – worst case – a Republican been elected but was “wrong within normal parameters” in 2024 we could claim that was an aberration that wouldn’t be repeated any time soon.
But that didn’t happen. Instead enough voters liked him and his policies to put him in again and despite four years’ experience with him before plus another twenty months into the second time around one in three American voters still think he’s doing a bang-up job.
The US and its electorate are the problem. Trump is the carbuncle on top.
My condolences. I have several Trumpist family members, and even if we never mention his name again, it’s really damaged our relationship.
My spirits are always buoyed when there’s a question that I feel I can answer:
Religious man lives in two kinds of time, of which the more important, sacred time, appears under the paradoxical aspect of a circular time – a sort of eternal mythical present periodically reintegrated by means of rites.
TL;DR “it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘time’ is.”
I hope you meant to say I have NO sympathy for the pubbies. That’s what you meant, right? Please?
